Dear journal,
Day one.
Today I came up with an idea. Something that no other person would do. I'm going to protest against smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes are absolutely dusgusting and can cause cancer. People who smoke cigarettes airn't educated enough to know the consquences about what is going to happen to them. People in my family used to smoke, and some had to pay an aweful price...death. I haven't started my protest yet, but when I do, I'm going to get as many people as possible to help me. Anybody is allowed to join, as long as they don't smoke.
When my mother was first pregnant with me she smoked. She had no idea that smoking could have affected me. When the doctor told her if she didn't stop smoking then I would have died, she quit right away. Of course she couldn't just quit overnight, but she cut back so much that she thought it would be pointless to contiue smoking after having me. Now, she has been cigarette free for 15 years. I want to protest cigarettes by going around town, infront of cigarette companies and hold signs up. I want the companies to know that I am not going to back down until I am forced. If protesting and cheering outside the buildings don't work then I will have everyone write and write and write letters until our fingers bleed. If that doesn't work then I will take it to as high of a level as I can! I know so many people who are against smoking, and everytime they walk by an a smoker they will cough until their face turns purple. By doing this act of protesting, I hope to gain the interest of uneducated smokers about the consequences they will face in a long run. I want to prove to them that smoking isn't the way to go and that they are going to regret it lter in life... or maybe sooner.
Dear journal,
Day two.
And so the protest begins.
I made signs. Big, bright, colorful signs. Signs that say, "smoking is choking!" "smoking (with an X through it)" and "This is a smoking-free country!" Today is the day we march. I will not give up until the companies give us the respect we deserve. I have gather friends, family, and random people to help me. altogether we have 64 people. Whether the people show up or not, these companies won't have a clue wha hit them. I am prepared to do whatever I need to to get these people's attention. I am both excited and nervous all wrapped in one. I want to go s far as possiblewith this protest without being put in jail. I know I won't get far, but at least the thought will be in the people's heads. I am going to startthe protest at 11am. Peopl;e will jut start leaving for lunch breaks when they see us. I plan to scream nd shout until everything I say is out. I am going t chant and riot (without the volence) until my voice is the loudest amoung the people.
There are two sides of this protest. The good side and the bad. The good side is that the people will hear my voice and try to change. The bad side is I can go to jail. Let's hope my voice is strong enough.
Dear journal,
The end.
I'M ALIVE! The protest is finished! Wow! What a rush! When we first got there, everyone was yelling and screaming and making a huge scene. Then, people started beeping at us and some even joined. The people who worked atthe companyhad no dea what to do. They walked outsie as our words blasted in their face, and they walked right back in. Those babies called the cops, but we still didn't stop! Even new reporters showed up and I was able to tell them the reason not to smoke on live tv. When the cops showed up we all continued. No one backed out because we all were determinded to make a change. When the cops showed up, they started yelling at us to quiet down. We didn't. They tried putting us in cuffs but we didn't let them. Eventually, they got hold of us but the whole time, throughout the struggle we didn't give up. We screamed and yelled until nothing was left. When we got to the police station, we were charged with disturbance of peace in the community and truspassing on private property. We had to pay a fine which was lotof money, but I think it was all worth it.
I grabbed the attention of smokers and made them realize what a mistake they're making. Now the protest is over, people will remember me. They will know that I was the reason they wanted to quit smoking. The world wil know that I an against smoking and will always will be. And now, they will be somewhat educated about the dangers. This protest was a success, even though we didn't get the factory to confess anything, I still feel as if we change the lives of people in many ways.
